Thanks! This fixed it for me and I put another Evita Nightly ROM and resolved the issue. I got into a bootloop by flashing a ROM dating back from Aug. After Titanium backup, it got into a bootloop.
Flashing boot.img separately using fastboot is not needed for hbot 1.09, only 1.14.
Always factory reset (in TWRP, not hboot) when switching ROMs, and don't restore system data with Titanium. It was probably one of these that caused the bootloop.
New and having some issues
I also have an ATT HTC One X 2.20 Hboot 1.14 using twrp 2.4.1 and have been trying to install roms but continue to have an issue with the MD5 file. I have followed the instructions above about flashing the boot.img of CM10 but it seems no matter what I do, it can't find the MD5 and says it is skipping MD5. I know just enough not to get out of a bootloop but I am quite new to this. The one odd thing I see is when I go to mount my phone in order to copy the CM10 zip file into the phone, the options I get are different than others I see online: Mount System (unchecked), Mount Data,(unchecked), Unmount Cache (checked), Unmount SD Card (checked). Any help would be awesome.

Yesterday I tried to install a custom rom on my HTC Sensation. The sensation had the Dutch Vodafone ROM, updated to the newest version.
I started by following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 to the letter and did not encounter any problems.
Then I read a post about the InsertCoin ROM, and started with the recommended download and install of PG58IMG.zip. I did not install the ROM yet. Upon rebooting after installation of PG58IMG.zip the phone now seems to be in a boot loop, it boots untill the "Quitely Brilliant" appears and then reboots again. I removed PG58IMG.zip and reinstalled su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip (as per suggestion in another thread about a boot looped phone). However the phone refuses to install it.
Is there anything I can do the get my phone out of this bootloop?

Ugh.. really? Any idea what went wrong? I imagine I might have done somthing stupid, but I have no idea what.
You can probably fix it. First thing I would try doing is booting to recovery and restoring from the backup(s) you made.
hello i myself am not really familar with that device its one i never played with or researched but i do know that bootloop does not mean your device is bricked if your device is bricked it would simply be a black screen that did nothing something in your bootloader or spl (secondary program loader).
please boot into clockwork mod pull battery hold vol down when it boots do a complete wipe
wipe data / userdata
wipe cache
wipe davlik
then try to reboot see if you can boot then and if not pull out sd card download a rom from your pc to your sd card for your device try a diffrent rom install sd card into your phone boot back into clockwork mod select zip from sd and install most likely it will repair your boot loop.
(YOUR PHONE IS NOT BRICKED)
any ? go to sensation questions and answers and or development they can further benifit you because they deal with that device full time

I had the same problem. Solved it by installing the a compatible (to the new firmware) rom, like InsertCoin 4.3.2. So, tne procedure is:
1. Install firmware by putting PG58IMG.zip on root of sd card
2. remove PG58IMG.zip from root of sd card
3. install InsertCoin 4.3.2 from sd card
Hi buddy. No, you're not bricked. You just flashed a non-compatible ROM, you're all safe. It happened to me once.
A bricked device means a device that is unable to even power up. If it can boot to recovery, or fastboot, you're not bricked. And if you have a bootloop, you're not bricked either.
Do the following:
Battery pull
Put the battery back again
Press and hold the volume down button
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds, while keeping the volume down button
When you get into fastboot, let go volume button
Select recovery using the volume keys and confirming with the power button
There you are! You can flash back your backup... Because you have a backup, right?
@ all; Thanks all for the help! Wiping and restoring backups didn't do the trick, but the suggestions were very welcome since they convinced me I didn't brick my phone
Special thanks to Norad73 and Pyrobisqit; I did have a backup, but not of the firmware it seems, since restoring the backup didn't work <red face>.
Bu the suggestion of the ROM not being compatible with the new firmware was right on the mark. I installed the InsertCoin ROM, and yes it worked! I now have a very nice ICS Sensation
Thanks, thanks, thanks!
After canceling a flash of Sick Sense, my One x wont boot now. I would boot into bootloader and hit recovery and twrp splashscreen shows for a split second, then reboots to htc splashscreen, staying like that forever. What should I do? Fastboot install another recovery?

Looks like you are unlocked ... so try to boot into "bootloader" and reflash recovery ...
If nothing helps ... relock bootloader and flash RUU ...
Boot into the bootloader
Flash TWRP again (must be TWRP as CWM does not have USB mount yet)
Boot into TWRP
Mount USB
Transfer your ROM of choice onto your phone
Unmount USB
Do a factory reset from TWRP
Flash the .zip
Reboot and hope for the best
If that doesn't work then you could just run the RUU from fastboot.
Yea I was out and about with no internet just my phone me and my laptop lol. What I ended up having to do was relock and ruu back to 1.85. Thanks for the help guys. Now I hope I can still reunlock lol

What happened earlier was that, even though I was able to get and boot into cwm, the sd card got unmounted somehow so I couldn't flash or restore anything.

AT&T HOX Stuck in Boot Loop after trying to flash a rom using Flash Image GUI
First of all thank you to everyone who is willing to help me out. I apologize if I missed the answer I'm looking for. Here is what's going on:
I successfully rooted my HTC One X (At&T) using TWRP a couple days ago. I created two backups in TWRP, one before rooting and one after. I then tried to install viperx 3.3.1 using Flash Image GUI from the playtstore and after the install finished I am not stuck in a boot loop on the screen that says "HTC quietly brilliant" and has the disclaimer written in red. I turned my phone off and rebooted holding the power button and volume down button and tried to do a restore of one my backups in TWRP. However I am still stuck in a boot loop. I tried restoring to the other backup also and still in a boot loop. I tried wiping the cache, Dalvik Cache, and System and then rebooting but same thing. I would appreciate any help at all. Thank you an advance for your time.
You have to flash the boot img of your backups...but just flash viper and flash the boot img
Whoa whoa whoa whoa... we don't have viper 3.3... he just released 3.2 today... sooooo it looks like you tried to flash the international version of viper

Hey guys, I installed CWM on my buddies HTC one S (ville) and I keep getting a weird problem with CWM. I have successfully flashed CM10 multiple times and have made only one back up. Every time his phone dies and he plugs it in and tries to power it on it boots straight to recovery and after you press reboot phone it boots right back to recovery again and again... The only way it fixes itself is when you restore the back up and then it sets him back to that date. I'm wondering if this is a problem with CWM or something else... I'm new to HTC devices because I have always been on the Galaxy line from Samsung so some of this is a little new to me...
Thanks in advance!!
This is a known glitch with CWM. If you plug it in when its off and try to turn it on, it'll automatically Boot into CWM Recovery. I prefer TWRP personally, had too many problems with CWM and getting into the same exact pain-in-the-neck Bootloop as you're referring to.
As far as I am aware, there isn't a way to get out of the CWM Bootloop unless you just let the phone run out of Battery, get into the Bootloader (Which is somewhat of a challenge with the CWM Bootloop), and then flash a different Recovery from Fastboot. Correct me if i'm wrong on there not being any other way around this.
It's happened to me once, I flashed the.stock boot.img and it worked fine.after that. Not sure if its a fix but it got me outta of it.

Thanks guys I think I'll try TWRP but just to check does CM10 work with TWRP and if so how do I flash a new recovery?
yes cm10 worx with twrp. For flashing recovery, download d appropriate recovery.img for ur device. place this in the fastboot folder or the platform-tools folder.
now, boot into bootloader and enter fastboot then connect phone to PC , it should say fastboot USB .
Now open a command window and use this command---
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img.

Cyanogenmod 10 does indeed work with TWRP as far as I know. Along with mihirengg19's Reply above, there is also an Alternative way to flashing a new Recovery, and that is to use the HTC One S All-In-One Toolkit. Its the easiest/safest way, if you don't know what you're doing.
yes toolkit is great but manually is best...
Sent from my One V
That's my first post here in the One S forum and, unfortunately, not a happy one.
I used to have fun with modding a long time ago, with the HTC Desire, but when I bought the One S, I didn't even root it, until yesterday.
To unlock the bootloader and install the TWRP recovery I used the All-in-One toolkit; then I installed a MIUI v5 porting and updated to the latest version.
Not satisfied with it, this morning I decided to try Sense 5 with TrickDroid 10.3.2: I did a TWRP backup, wiped the necessary and installed the zip.
Now the phone is in an infinite loop.. that would be ok, but I can't get to fastboot or recovery.
The problem is that even before I wasn't able to get to fastboot with the button combo (even if I disabled fastboot in MIUI settings), and to access the recovery I used the command provided in the All-in-One toolkit.
I'm not able to use the All-in-One toolkit since the device can't be found while turning on.
So now I'm here with my phone vibrating every 30 seconds or so and that's a bit frustrating...
Do any of you know what to do?
If you need any further information just ask, and sorry for my English, I hope everything is clear.
Thank you in advance
Francesco
P.S.: It is the S4 version.

I'm now having the same problem: exactly I forgot to flash boot.img after flashing the rom, and my HTC One S now seems to be bricked.
Yesterday I could turn it on and go into HBOOT, but when I chose Recovery or Factory Reset it rebooted and after the HTC logo, a warning logo appeared. Now I cannot do anything with this.
Can you pls give me some advise or how I can fix this problem? Many thanks!:good:

That is not a brick lol :laugh:
That warning logo isn't a big deal. Everyone who has unlocked their bootloader gets it. And seems like you have erased your recovery by selecting "Factory Reset".
1. Download All-In-One Tool kit for HTC One S from the Development forum.
2. Flash a custom recovery. TWRP recommended.
3. Boot into recovery, mount sd card, copy your rom.
4. Flash your ROM.
5. Boot into fastboot
6. flash boot.img
7. Restart :good:

flash twrp 2.6, wipe sd card on twrp (wipe - advanced), mount, copy rom over, wipe everything except sd card then flash your rom.
if youre s-on you have to extract the boot.img from the rom you flashed and:
